<h4><a name = "tag_000_008_252">&nbsp;</a>NAME</h4><blockquote>
seekdir - set position of directory stream
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_008_253">&nbsp;</a>SYNOPSIS</h4><blockquote>
<pre><code>

#include &lt;<a href="systypes.h.html">sys/types.h</a>&gt;

void seekdir(DIR *<i>dirp</i>, long int <i>loc</i>);

</pre>
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_008_254">&nbsp;</a>DESCRIPTION</h4><blockquote>
The
<i>seekdir()</i>
function sets the position of the next
<i><a href="readdir.html">readdir()</a></i>
operation on the directory stream specified by
<i>dirp</i>
to the position specified by
<i>loc</i>.
The value of
<i>loc</i>
should have been returned from an earlier call to
<i>telldir</i>().
The new position reverts to the one associated with the directory
stream when
<i><a href="telldir.html">telldir()</a></i>
was performed.
<p>
If the value of
<i>loc</i>
was not obtained from an earlier call to
<i><a href="telldir.html">telldir()</a></i>
or if a call to
<i><a href="rewinddir.html">rewinddir()</a></i>
occurred between the call to
<i><a href="telldir.html">telldir()</a></i>
and the call to
<i>seekdir()</i>,
the results of subsequent calls to
<i><a href="readdir.html">readdir()</a></i>
are unspecified.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_008_255">&nbsp;</a>RETURN VALUE</h4><blockquote>

<i>seekdir()</i>
function returns no value.
